This month, Joel Berger will be giving a
talk on testing Javascript from Mojolicious
Do you test your Javascript? All of it? Be honest. I thought so, neither did
I.
It is very easy to say that testing Javascript is too hard, or that you don't
need to because you have so little of it. But what if testing your
client-side Javascript was as easy as testing a Mojolicious app, which is
pretty darn easy? Would you do it then?
In this talk I will demonstrate Test::Mojo::Role::Phantom, which allows
testing a Mojolicious app, PSGI app or even external website's client-side
Javascript. It only requires the phantomjs executable, which is a piece of
cake to install. You'll be testing your browser behavior in no time!
Doors open at 6:45. Meeting starts at 7:00. RSVP on the Meetup
